Treat your tastebuds to the classic Caribbean flavor of 100% Certified Organic Allspice. Native to the Caribbean Islands, where it was first encountered by Columbus on his second voyage to the New World, allspice is now used extensively in cuisines throughout the world, especially in the Middle East, where it is an indispensable ingredient in meat dishes and stews.
